    Matthew Stafford actually sprained his index finger, OP edited for correction.

    Looks like a dislocated finger for Wilson, hopefully it’s not broken.

    So did he break his fingers and not get them set?? This is a bizarre picture, or is photoshopped

    looks like lots of damage coupled with some pretty gnarly arthritis.

    My Grandmother has R.A. and her hands look about the same as chucks. a very debilitating disease.

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

    He's had many injuries to his fingers over the course of his career, here is excerpt from a book called "When the clock runs out."

    (EXCERPT FROM WHEN THE CLOCK RUNS OUT, TRIUMPH BOOKS).

    Those hands. You cannot help but stare at them. They are hypnotic. Mesmerizing.

    It is thought that the oldest living thing on the planet is a tree that dwells on a bleak, hardscrabble, windswept spit of desolation, and it is so cantankerously hardy, so unyieldingly stubborn that it seems to take root in rock. You can't kill it, and it won't die on its own.

    Those hands, they belong on that tree.

    The fingers are bent at grotesque angles, the knuckles hideously swollen. The pinky on the right hand wanders out at a ninety-degree angle, almost as though it belongs to another hand.

    Those fingers have been stepped on. Chewed on. Twisted. Bent. Yanked. Cleated. Caught in the ear holes of helmets. Caught in face masks and violently shaken about. All that, plus whatever other atrocities football players commit on each other when they are hidden from the view of the whistle-blowers and the yellow flag-throwers, down there at the bottom of the pile, when the rule is to grab hold of the handiest extremity and practice extreme sadism.

    Those hands...imagine the stories they could tell.

    Well, those hands are the property of Chuck Bednarik. He is beamingly proud of them, and he will gladly recount for you each dislocation, each firecracker pop that meant yet another fracture, each ligament torn, each muscle shredded, each bit of cartilage ripped loose from its moorings. He can give you down and distance and gruesome detail.

    Hurt? Only every minute of every day, that’s all.

    He says this with a perverse delight because those hands, those gnarled hands, callous claws, are befitting to a man who was anointed with the best nickname there has ever been in all of sports: Concrete Charlie.

    "Like it? I loved it!" he thunders.

    Ok the Arthritis I didn’t think of but really a proper surgery could have helped I would think? I’m not downplaying Concrete Charlie’s rough style of play, he was a menace and one the best without question

    If you play long enough your fingers will take quite a beating. Think of receivers and DBs. Sprained and broken fingers are common. So is playing with sprained and broken fingers. Hands will be taped up however makes them functional. These QBs are throwing absolute rockets at the pro level. And the lineman, and linebackers, also are in massive collisions. Hands get wrecked. Proper surgery and setting will help, but these guys don't always have time for that type of thing. No one wants to risk losing their position and sit out due to a broken finger.

    Wilson had surgery on his finger today.

    Stafford was not injured in the Seahawk game. The injury happened against the Bucs.

    Wilson out 6 weeks. Never a good time for an injury and the team went 2-3 with Wilson. But I took a peek at their schedule. Even with Geno Smith they might go 3-3 but 2-4 is more realistic. So 4-7 with 6 games left. No 1st round draft choice next year. Jamal Adams trade. What a waste but I digress. Toughest division in the NFL and 4-7? Is it too early to close the 2021 season on the Seahawks?

    No, it's not too early, they're done.

    season effectively over for Seahawks i suppose. Teams in current day NFL are so dependant on the QB position

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

  • 2dueces2dueces Posts: 6,447 ✭✭✭✭✭

    When I said no draft choices, they can’t even trade for Watson for 1 year. He might get suspended next year but they gave the Jets next years #1 for a blitzing Safety that struggles in coverage.

    Last Sunday during warm-ups before the Rams/Cardinal game, my trusted inside source told me that, "Stafford got a banged up finger in the Bucs game."...... Then Stafford promptly went out and had one of the worst games I've ever seen a QB have. He was horrible. Throwing behind recievers..... overthrowing recievers multiple times...etc. The worst was an interception thrown directly to a defensive back. It was bad. So......I assumed the information I got about the " banged up finger" was legit. Whatever.

    Just moments ago I asked my secret inside source where the info about Stafford's "banged up finger" during the Bucs game came from. Three people were named. I know and trust all three of them. ......It's not uncommon for teams and players to downplay and even hide their injury Iists from opponents and even, believe it or not, the fans. What coach or player would advertise their weak and vulnerable spots to the opposing team? Think about it.

Makes sense to me.

    The important thing here is that those little Hydrantettes never find out that Stafford is injured, they would be devastated, they must believe he is 100% healthy!
